Posted on by Leave a comment

The latest addition to Hot Toys‘ growing line of Predator collectibles features an alternate take on Dek, the young warrior from Predator: Badlands, and his cute companion, Bud!

In Predator: Badlands, the ultimate hunt descends upon the planet Genna, where survival demands adaptation. The young warrior, Dek conquers this treacherous ecosystem by utilizing its resources – outfitting himself in armor forged from the remains of a massive Bone Bison. Combining traditional Yautja technology with improvised organic weaponry, Dek harnesses the planet’s lethal flora and fauna with devastating effect. Accompanied by his unique companion, Bud, this unstoppable duo redefines what it means to be the apex predator in an unforgiving environment of the “Death Planet.”

The Dek (Bone Bison Armor) & Bud 1/6 Scale Collectible Set includes a new Dek figure with a finely crafted headsculpt equipped with separate rolling eyeballs and interchangeable mandibles to bring Dek’s fierce expressions to life. Dek’s physique is accurately represented by a highly poseable body with a seamless joint design on the arms and legs.

Dek’s Bone Bison Armor is expertly crafted over a fur cloth covering and a fabric tunic, and accented by greaves and wrist gauntlets with a Luna Bug fang wrist blade. An attachable Bone Bison mask perfectly complements his primal aesthetic.

Prepared for the ultimate hunt, Dek is heavily armed with an assortment of weapons, including a wire-embedded Razor Grass whip, a Combistick (with interchangeable tips to recreate retracted or extended combat modes), a folding Plasma Sword, two Cryo Grenades, and a wire-embedded Spray Snake “Squirt” as a living shoulder cannon! 

Accompanying Dek is the Bud 1/6 Scale Collectible Figure, which stands at approximately 16 cm (6.2″) tall. Bud features a newly developed head and articulated body with highly detailed sculpted hair, perfectly capturing the character’s likeness from the hit film.

The set is completed with a specially designed rocky terrain-themed figure diorama display stand.

Wicked: For Good

Wicked: For Good was the top film at the weekend box office by a wide margin. The movie grossed an estimated $150 million domestically and $76 million internationally for a debut weekend of $226 million. That improves upon the first film which grossed $112 million domestically its opening weekend and then went on to gross just under $475 million domestically and $758.7 million worldwide. Will the sequel cross the billion dollar mark? It’s possible the film could be frontloaded with fans who saw the first and want to see the second half which could result in a tumble. But, with the holiday weekend coming it should do well though faces a challenge with Zootopia 2 opening this week.

Now You See Me: Now You Don’t dipped to second place with an estimated $9.1 million, a 56.6% drop from the opening weekend. It has now grossed $36.8 million domestically in two weeks.

Now You See Me: Now You Don’t Wins the Weekend Box Office with a Series Low

Posted on by
Now You See Me: Now You Don't

Now You See Me: Now You Don’t took the top spot at the weekend box office, but did it with the lowest debut of the trilogy of films. Now You See Me: Now You Don’t opened with an estimated $21.3 million domestically and $54.2 million internationally for a worldwide opening of $75.5 million. That domestic opening is the lowest for the series.
Now You See Me opened in 2013 with $29.4 million and went on to gross $117.7 million domestically and $351.7 million worldwide. Now You See Me 2 in 2016 debuted with $22.4 million at the domestic box office and went on to gross $65.1 million domestically, $269.8 million internationally, and $334.9 million worldwide. With this film’s third film being a bit under the second film’s debut, there’s a good chance it’ll have a similar run though likely to fall short of that worldwide with some tough competition coming in the next few weeks.

The Running Man debuted in second place with $17 million domestically and $11.2 million internationally for a worldwide debut of $28.2 million. It’s hard to compare this one to 1987’s original which debuted with $8.1 million domestically and went on to gross $38.1 million domestically with no international gross reported, but this can’t be considered good. But, let’s be honest, Stephen King adaptations have a very shaky history at the box office.

Predator: Badlands dropped 67.5% to come in third place in its second week after debuting in first. The movie grossed $13 million to bring its domestic total to $66.3 million. Internationally, it grossed $30 million over the week to bring that to $70 million for a worldwide gross of $136.3 million.

Regretting You slipped to fourth place from second with $4 million domestically where it has now grossed just under $45 million. Internationally, it grossed $18.4 million over the week to bring that to $37.5 million for a worldwide total of $82.5 million.

Black Phone 2 wrapped up the top five with $2.7 million domestically to bring that to $74.7 million. Over the week, it grossed $9.8 million internationally to bring that total to $53.1 million. Worldwide it has grossed $127.7 million.

In other comic related movies…

Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc dropped to ninth place. It added $1.6 million to its domestic total which is now $41.2 million. Over the week, it grossed $7.1 million internationally and now stands at $127.1 million. Worldwide, the movie has grossed $168.3 million.

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba- The Movie – Infinity Castle grossed $186,000 domestically over the weekend and now its total is at $133.9 million. Internationally, the movie has grossed $596.1 million. Its worldwide gross is just under $730 million.

Initial numbers has 66 movies grossing $73,872,102 from 37,074 theaters for an average of $1,992.56. That compared to last week’s 67 movies grossing $81,327,290 from 37,309 theaters for an average of $2,179.83.
